>As I told Charles, I think it's the best way to go, but there will be some chaos. I think the WWII situation was different in that they were able to fill the jobs with even lower paid staff. This is the reverse, the new staff will be able to demand a larger paycheque.

So what? At least they'll spend it here.

The downside is that the corporations would run lower profits, which they were investing abroad anyway.
